Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

What does your friends list say?

You know..when I first came to DS..I had pages of friends. I am not bragging..so please do not take it that way. I look at my friends list now and I know many of these amazing women and men on a much more personal basis. Each one I look at has a special place in my heart and a memory attached to them. Whether it be a good laugh or a good cry...they have touched my life.

This thread is a shout out to those friends that I hold dear.

Rather than you giving a shout out to a friend in particular or a group of them...this is your chance to thank all of them.

I like my friends list, it reminds me of people who care for me , I've never deleted anyone, one day they might want or need me.
Some of the people I see on the boards almost every day are not on my friends list, I am not good at asking but I think a lot of them and enjoy their posts.
I am not naturally sociable l grew out of it but I'm doing my best, online friends are a good stat to leaving the home and hopefully meeting some &quot;real life&quot; people that are not scary, lol.

I have a variety of new and old friends on my list. Like you Pixie I have fewer than I had last year. At one time I had well over 200, which was impossible to keep up with. The ones I have now, that I've had since the beginning, are the ones who have shown caring and 'sticktuitiveness' with me through my toughest times. I also have some new friends on my list that I still have to truly bond with, but time should take care of that.
HUGS to you and everyone.

As you know, you were one of my first friends here. You and Rubyblue. I have aquired many more wonderful friends since I have been here.

I use to take the time and read everyones journals through the week but havent done that lately. Some I only talk to on occasion but I dont feel the need to delete. If they delete me then I understand but I havent deleted anyone.

My twin Rainer always sends me superhero hugs and tells me that I helped pull her out of her black hole, so has Bistro.. I love both of them for making me feel like I have helped someone else laugh. Carolina is wonderful and ofcourse you and Jazz, Kittericken, daisy, suyb, bmoney... OMG.. there are way to many to mention..

My friend's list says many things to me. There are many on my list that I initially reached out to but there are many who reached out to me when I needed it most. There are many I hold very dear to my heart.
I thank you all.

No suy...I would say that my friends list shows that I am healthier than I was a year or more ago. I have the strongest support network of friends that a person can ask for. I am among fighters and those that truly want to have a life full of happiness and a life worth fighting for. Go ahead and take a peek hon..even you are there.

My Friends List says I can connect with other humans after all. It hasn't carried into my RL yet, but that's ok. You people are like the little voices in my head! If I'm depressed, and can't sleep, I see this little Dancing Bear in my head and start laughing out loud!

Lately it has been hard for me to hug all my friends. I don't have use of my own computer until I can afford to replace a part on it, so have been using the one I built for my sister, and the one at work. I hug those that hug me tho, or at least try to. I often don't have enough time to do them all, and once you hit the hug link you loose that number that tells you how many new hugs you received. So if I don't get them all given out in time, I sometimes forget where I left off... (Dang Alzheimer's!)
Also lately, my physical illnesses have made it hard for me to even be on here. I just do not have the energy I need to be on as much as I would like. This results often in my being bombarded with mail when I do get on, with no hope of catching up on it. Right now I have 115 unread messages. There is no way I could answer them all, so I try to answer the most serious ones and the recent ones. The rest I just can't deal with. *sigh....

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
